It thrilled me through a lot of it, but it lost me near the end. I think I was much more into the bildungsroman section of the book than the collapse of the comic world. Writing about it now, though, I'm really thinking it must have been the mood I was in, because I'm looking back and thinking that it was satisfying - or I wouldn't remember it as well as I do. If you liked this book, though, you REALLY should read Oscar Wao. Really.
